Summary:
Le génie parasismique traite de l'impact des séismes sur les structures et des moyens d'y remédier. Il s'appuie notamment sur une excellente connaissance des méthodes de dimensionnement parasismique, et en particulier du dimensionnement en capacité. Rédigé par deux des spécialistes francophones du domaine, cet ouvrage offre une vue exhaustive de l'ensemble des moyens mis à disposition de l'ingénieur pour limiter l'impact des manifestations sismiques sur les constructions. Il montre toute l'importance de la prise en compte des sollicitations sismiques lors de la phase de conception de bâtiments neufs. Il présente et explique en détail les spécificités du comportement sismique et la méthode de dimensionnement en capacité, développée expressément pour le cas sismique. L'application de cette méthode est traitée dans le cadre des normes de construction les plus récentes. Le nouvel ouvrage de référence en langue française pour les étudiants ingénieurs et les ingénieurs praticiens.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage expose de manière claire et synthétique la problématique de la prise en compte des séismes lors de la construction de bâtiments. Principalement destiné aux praticiens du secteur du bâtiment non spécialistes du sujet, il offre un aperçu complet de l'ensemble des éléments constructifs à considérer afin d'éviter tout désastre lors d'un séisme. L'ouvrage aborde les thèmes de la vulnérabilité des bâtiments, de la conception parasismique, du dimensionnement et des normes de construction à adopter, ainsi que de l'évaluation sismique des ouvrages existants. Chaque chapitre se clôt pari un résumé synthétique, et un lexique des définitions et des termes spécifiques utilisés dans le texte complète l'ouvrage. Rédigé dans un langage clair et accessible aux profanes du domaine, cet ouvrage sans précédent ni équivalent en langue française constitue une véritable référence pour les architectes, maîtres d'ouvrages et ingénieurs conseil, ainsi que pour un large public intéressé par cette problématique.

Summary:
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. From the Eames House in Los Angeles to the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels and the Maison de Verre in Paris, "At Home in Steel" celebrates the use of steel in residential architecture.

Summary:
As we stand on the cusp of a fundamental restructuring of the housing and building industries, this book provides timely insights into the promise of prefabricated housing. The idea of a more industrialised approach to house building is not a new one: since the 19th century, designers, inventors, engineers, builders, developers, and entrepreneurs have all been fascinated by the idea of the factory-built, modular home. But international housing affordability crises, emerging technologies, and concerns for more sustainable building practices have given a new urgency to the need to transform building construction in the 21st century.
